I have not done any work in the multi-process area in years, but that's my gut feeling too. GDB's internals and user interface are both very wound up in a single process model. That's not to say it couldn't be changed. But you'd have to convince us first that it was worth changing, and then that it was practical. -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery
